What is the gt500 cooling girdle?
Make sure your get a good oil separator and not a cheap water/air separator that home depot sells. Might want to look into breathers instead of running the separator.
Looking good stu, keep it up.

The girdle for the rear end oil. GT 500 cooling fins version from the current model. My Ford Racing cover was defective. Oil leak.

Barbie goes in for surgery this a.m., 3.73 and aluminum driveshaft, say a prayer that all goes well. The local speedshop has a specialist for this procedure, but i am still nervous.

Rattler is returning from Real Speed tomorrow. All work has been completed. The 2010 GT now goes to the body shop for NEW Roush side stripes Matte black , NEW Cervini specific hood struts and some minor correction work on the 4 inch Cevini cowl hood. My understanding from the shop is that the GT now has over 400 RWHP. Previous 380 at around 8PSI. Boost level has now been increased. New numbers with pics posted tomorrow.........:beer:

The GT has made some gains. 426 RWP/388LBS TQ. Close to 12PSI new BOOST.8 PSI old BOOST numbers, 380RWP/318LBS TQ. Gear changes are smooth , and the pick up nice . You can feel the added power. Shift points excellent. The 2010 is a 5 speed Auto. The GT was Dynoed on 20x11 Shelby CS1 wheels. The whipple also has its new Steeda strut tower brace in place. Car has a nice new stance with its 1 inch drop. All mods for season 13 are now in place. Car is next off to the body shop for some minor adjustments with new Roush side stripes to be added. New cervini hood struts will hold the new 4 inch cowl. Current struts being removed to weak. Rattler will be seen at its first car show of the season on Long Island April 28th.:beer: SEASON 2013 .......:headbang:

Real Speed did a wonderful job on my 2010 GT. They understand "MUSTANG". The difference in the ride was felt from engine start.:rock:
